Twins Earn Late Win
The Minnesota Twins besoiled an otherwise fine performance by New York second baseman Nick Rich by beating the Yankees, 4-3, at Yankee Stadium. Rich was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota, now 60-59, holds down third place in the American League Central Division.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Matt Hughes to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Hughes attributed the win to his team's "grittiness."
